International Criminal Court Against Child Kidnapping

Actorin Brussels, Belgium

The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping is an organization pursuing its authority on principles long established by international conventions, laws and treaties. The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping accepts universal jurisdiction based on international laws to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of (parental) child kidnapping, crimes against humanity, human rights violations and the enforced disappearance of children by Government Officials. The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping is intended to complement existing international judicial systems and it may therefore only exercise its jurisdiction when certain conditions are met, such as when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals or when the United Nations Security Council or individual states refer investigations to the Court.

Every year 10 million children are being kidnapped across the world and most Governments are unable or unwilling to solve this global problem. The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping is principled on the provisions established in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Rome Statute, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Declaration of Human Rights, which has been signed and ratified by more than 193 Nations of the world.

The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping, is the court of last resort for prosecution for the crime of (parental) child kidnapping, enforced disappearance of children by Government officials, Human Rights Violations and Crimes against Humanity. Any party seeking help from the court shall have exhausted all domestic remedies available to them. The court may be able to advise parties if domestic remedies are still open, however the court will not accept jurisdiction in any case if domestic remedies are still open to parties to avoid international confusion of jurisdiction. The court is therefore the ultimate jurisdiction of last resort. Its founding principles are established in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Rome Statute, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and entered into force on the day of its establishment.

The International Criminal Court against Child Kidnapping actively contributes to find justice and enforce criminal laws on (parental) child kidnapping
